Images of a possible new United home strip were circulating on social media on Monday, taken from website Footyheadlines.com – which claims to have leaked images of the prospective new home kit.

The black and white striped kit – with gold trim on it – would be a return to a more classic look for United, if it turns out that this strip is Newcastle’s new look.

The club are set to unveil the new strip in the coming weeks, although they may be looking to capitalise on the enthusiasm of an announcement on Rafa Benitez staying at St James’ Park before they officially put the strip on sale in June.

Other supporters have been designing their own kits. Here’s Twitter user Sam Gibb’s take on the United shirt, taking inspiration from Borussia Dortmund’s Puma strip.

With thinner, pin stripes it would be a slightly different look to their more classic bold stripes.

There is an alternative – the Newcastle Fans Brand shirt. It’s black and white with a red logo on it, and comes without the logo of controversial pay-day lenders Wonga on it. It sold out within days of going on sale when it was first made available. You can buy it here.
